Add Tags for Interactable Blocks

Minecraft Feedback – Add Tags for Interactable Blocks

Right now, there’s no clean way to distinguish between blocks that can be interacted with by hand and those that require an item. This makes datapacks and command logic more complicated than it needs to be, since creators have to maintain their own block lists.

I’d like to suggest adding two block tags:

1. #interactable
   Blocks that can be used without holding any specific item
   Examples: doors, levers, buttons, beds, chests

2. #item_interactable
   Blocks that only become meaningful when used with an item
   Examples: note blocks (with items), cauldrons, composters, respawn anchors, etc.

These tags would:

• Simplify datapack logic

• Remove the need for hardcoded block lists

• Make behavior more consistent and future-proof when new blocks are added

This feels like a natural extension of the existing tag system and would help both mapmakers and plugin developers keep their logic clean and maintainable.
